start_location is not specified, is a negative number, or is 0, the search starts at the beginning of expressionToSearch.‘ data-guid="2187f677f256c74b1eb14421d824788a">　　返回值：

start_location is not specified, is a negative number, or is 0, the search starts at the beginning of expressionToSearch.‘ data-guid="2187f677f256c74b1eb14421d824788a">　　如果 expressionToSearch 具有 varchar(max)、nvarchar(max) 或 varbinary(max) 数据类型，则返回 bigint；否则，返回 int。

start_location is not specified, is a negative number, or is 0, the search starts at the beginning of expressionToSearch.‘ data-guid="2187f677f256c74b1eb14421d824788a">　　CustomName包含客户的First Name和Last Name，它们之间被一个空格隔开。我们用CHARINDX函数确定两个名字中间空格的位置。通过这个方法，我们可以分析ContactName列的空格位置，这样可以只显示这个列的last name部分。

select top 5 substring(ContactName,charindex(‘ ‘,ContactName)+1,len(ContactName)) as [Last Name] from customers

　　示例二：

　　计算Northwind.dbo.Customer表中Addresses字段中包含单词Road或者它的缩写Rd的记录数，选择语句类似这样：

select count(*) from Northwind.dbo.Customers where CHARINDEX(‘Rd‘,Address) > 0 or CHARINDEX(‘Road‘,Address)> 1
